- Title
Contemporary Notions of Home: An Interview with Witold Rybczynski.
- Authors
Geddes, Jennifer L.
- Abstract
Presents an interview with Witold Rybczynski on the contemporary notions of home. When asked about how his notions of home shifted over the last twenty years since he wrote his book "Home: A Short History of an Idea," he explains that cultural ideas evolve at a glacial pace. He argues that the invention of domestic comfort is linked to the discovery of privacy and the inner life of an individual. He also explains his notion of domestic well-being that includes an awareness of history.
